As his former partner fled to a more appropriate partner switched partners Rudy tried not to pay attention to the fact he was left standing by himself for just a little bit longer than was probably appropriate but who could really blame them. He was a farm boy by nature and while he was very good at not stepping on people dancing had never really been something he intended to really learn. It had nothing to do with animals after all. The only type of dancing he did on a regular basis was with his baby sister Sarah and swinging her around in the air did not count.... And while he had the strength to do so with any of his partners here he had a feeling that their teacher would frown upon such things.
So he stood awkwardly trying to figure out where he put his arms, feet.... legs... so he didn't injure anybody spectacularly and look anything more than incredibly awkward dancing with a girl over five feet shorter than him.
He really wished he'd tried a little bit harder to beg to sit out and caught sight of Ric who was having similar issues though at 4 foot two he wasn't that much shorter than his partner.
He winced, and tried to smile apologetically at his new partner. If he didn't think he'd get into trouble he would've suggested her standing on his feet because his previous partner had been far too interested in where he put his than her own. His ears reddened as he looked at the girl and he tried to avert his eyes.
"This is so stupid." He muttered. "When am I ever going to need to dance?" He tried not to add, his private, most inner most thought who would ever actually want to dance with me? He would much rather be anywhere else right now but especially in Care of Magical Creatures..... He wondered what exciting thing Professor O'Connell would teach them next...
